Kiambu Will Give Ruto More Votes Than Any Region in 2027, Says Ichung’wah

Kikuyu Member of Parliament and National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah has expressed confidence that Kiambu County will overwhelmingly support President William Ruto’s re-election bid in the 2027 General Election.

Speaking on Sunday during a church service at the Africa Inland Pentecostal Church Assembly (AIPCA), Gatundu North Diocese, Ichung’wah said Kiambu remains firmly in President Ruto’s political corner, just as it was during the 2022 elections when the county played a key role in delivering votes for the Head of State.

“Your Excellency, I want to assure you that even in 2027, Kiambu County will give you more votes than any other region in the country,” Ichung’wah declared.

The Leader of Majority said visible development projects across Kiambu demonstrate President Ruto’s commitment to improving the lives of residents and justify the county’s continued support.

According to Ichung’wah, Kiambu is already experiencing the impact of the President’s development agenda, particularly in road infrastructure, which he described as evidence that the country is moving beyond promises to real transformation.

“In Kiambu County, we are not living in a promise but in the reality of transforming from a Third World to a First World country,” he said.

He highlighted major infrastructure projects underway in the county, including the dualling of the Western and Northern Bypasses and ongoing works along the Muthaiga–Kiambu Road corridor.

Ichung’wah also shared a personal experience to illustrate the traffic challenges faced by commuters on major highways and the need for improved infrastructure.

“Four weeks ago, I left Parliament for an engagement at Kenyatta University, and it took me one hour and 15 minutes, way more than it should take,” he said.

He welcomed President Ruto’s recent pledge, made during Jamhuri Day celebrations, to construct a new expressway from Museum Hill to Thika, describing it as a timely solution to congestion along the busy Thika Road.

“I am glad to report that during Jamhuri Day celebrations, you promised a new expressway from Museum Hill all the way to Thika,” Ichung’wah added.

The proposed expressway, unveiled by President Ruto during the national celebrations, is expected to ease chronic traffic congestion along the heavily used Thika Super Highway, a critical corridor linking Nairobi’s Central Business District to Thika town.

Spanning approximately 45 kilometres, the project aims to significantly cut travel time for thousands of daily commuters while boosting economic activity along the route, further strengthening Kiambu County’s support for the President’s development agenda.
